A buddy of mine wants to buy some bookshelf speakers but wants to put them on a shelf in a wallunit.I tried to explain to him that they should be placed on stands next to the wallunit.Unfortunatly he says that he can't.Are they're any good bookshelf speakers that could be placed in a wallunit shelf?I actually told him about the def.Tech. powermonitors which i heard can be placed in shelves.Can you guys give any advice on these type of speakers.His budget is approx. 800.00.Thanks

You're right that most speakers are designed to be mounted out into a room to get the most out of them. If he has to put them in the unit I'd start by looking for either a sealed or front ported model. Rear ported wouldn't work well at all in a tight space as it'll just sound boomy.
You might also consider in wall speakers depending on the room and the layout of the furniture. -
Let me ask you this he likes my setup which is the Def.Tech. procinema 100's.They are sealed ,no ports.Would these work out for him.He actually wants them a little bigger like maybe the 200's.Or could he use the powermonitors.Just so you know he saw and heard my system and now wants to get a system of his own.Yet needs speakers for shelves.Comment

Why not try your speakers on in his unit and see how they sound?Comment

You could have him take a look at the Anthony Gallo Acoustics Due model. They have great sound, no ports, come with a stand and can be oriented vertically or horizontally. I have seen but not heard the Procinema speakers, but my guess is he would get a bigger sound from the Due. Typical price is $600/each. Just a thought.Comment

Hello,
I have been reading posts here for a while and have learned a ton of valuable information.
I built speakers a long time ago, and was very happy with the results, I would like to do that again.
I understand that speakers are usually better placed away from the back... -
i have a technics SL-1300 (1976 vintage) and will resurrect it for my new ht system. it weighs, maybe, 25 lbs. (?).
i am building a very solid wooden wall unit, floor to ceiling, with 20" deep shelves. but many of the shelves are not high enough to handle the 6"-15" opening... -
Well.. My avitar will soon be out of date. All my Rotel stuff was sold by new years and I placed my new order on Monday.

RDV-1040
Had the rackshelves for the 1095 and 1066 from the last system, 1098 rackshelf is on its way,... -
Not sure how many DefTech owners we have at the Guide but I thought this worth posting anyway. It seems the big BP2000tl and bigger BP3000tl powered towers are about to be replaced:
I haven't seen pictures yet but I understand the cabinets are angled in some manner. ... -
Is it worth the money getting floorstanders over bookshelves for surrounds in a 5.1 or 7.1 setup? Particularly in the 600/CM and not the 800 series?
Also, the price of the FS700 + 685's is comparable to the 693's and the price of the FS700 + CM5's is comparble to the CM8's.
Speaker stands...
